Everyone has to make their own decision about how to keep their babies safe. In my situation I had a little one that had endless curiosity about the outside world and would rush the door when she thought she could possibly get out. My other long haired dogs only wore collars when they went out because of the mess that collars made of the fur.
Most dogs wear collars with no problem. Gracie pays no attention to her collar and has never had a problem with it. I have it loose enough that she could pull it over her head if she got stuck on something. I don't have another dog that could pull on it. I think it would be something to consider if your dogs were energetic players that like to wrestle and mouth at each other. We all have to take our particular circumstances into consideration. |
